In the meantime Brett Kenny will contuinue to make a prat of himself

£180,000 a season?

That's a new one on the Gleeson family, I can tell you that.

I was suprised watching the replay at his level of preformence because at the game i thought it was pathetic yet watching the replay it went up to 'decent'.

Decent isn't enough for me i'm afraid for a guy thats getting paid such a good wage. I don't see why we should just sweep that under the carpet He does deserve a place in the side( just about) at the moment but he really does, by his own standards, look a spent force and pretty much ready for hanging the boots up(if money wasn't getting in the way).

My second point stands in that i don't understand why people make so many excuses for him! It goes from burnout to the mason punch to a lack of support from the other props and now to the fact he's carrying Feka's ar*e through games.

The 'fact' is he isn't producing anywhere near his best form and we paid out nearly half a million quid and gave him a top wage to prouduce his best. We can't afford in the age of the salary cap to be carrying a top earner just because he makes an extra 5 tackles per match then he used to! We need him to hit the mark each and every week.

I look forward to next season with interest tbh. It's his last year on this huge deal and if he wants another with Wigan or anywhere else we'll have to see a huge turnaround in form from him. I get the feeling we'll see a totally different Stuart Fielden then we have for the past 3 and a half years which will tell it's own story i'm afraid.

As you are so quick to, discredit my post. Due you mind pointing out where I have put started and not come on with Feka, or anyone else for that matter?

As for your discussion with Mr Hogan regarding Fielden's salary. Im pretty sure that we signed him on £225'000 a year. ( I have not got anything concrete to back this up but I'm fairly sure that was the figure banded at the time, which took us over the salary cap)

I really think we can discount that.

Knowing Mick Hogan, he wouldn't discuss a player's salary with anyone except the club chairman and the head coach.

Dear oh dear. All your defence of Stuart Fielden was based on the premise that because Feka did the running with the ball and was hopeless at defending that he was partnered by Fielden whose sole job was to defend and defend, even though FACTUALLY he has missed more tackles than any other prop at Wigan and FACTUALLY Andy Coley was superior v Leeds.

Your defence was based on the fact that the two reserve props enter the field together on the 20 minute mark approximately. Only recently have those reserves been Fielden and Feka. Feka leaves the pitch much sooner than Fielden and subsequent interchanges are rarely if ever co-ordinated.

How hard can it be to realise that if your whole view is bassed on some apparent simbiotic relationship between Fielden and Feka that your whole argument falls down.

That's nearly as much as Matt King!

To be fair though, he did then change his mind and say that it was



So, if you've overpaid Feka by paying him £150k a year, added to your £225k that is nearly £400k

You're on good form today.
Feeling better?

Aye, a lot thanks. It's taken a lot out of me though, I can just about move my typing fingers

Absolute rubbish.

How can it be nearly?

That's 25% difference between the figures.

I'm glad you don't do any estimating of how much carpet I need for the house.
